The CNN game: Ann Curry edition

12/12/12 7:38 AM EST

We noted last month that while politicos cast bets on Obama's next cabinet, mediaites are speculating on CNN's new programming under incoming president Jeff Zucker, who has promised to introduce new faces and reposition old ones.

The New York Post has been having a ball with this: Earlier this week, they revisited the longstanding rumor that ex-CNBCer Erin Burnett might move to the morning.

Today, the Post's Page Six cites sources who say Zucker plans to bring ex-'Today' show co-host Ann Curry to the primetime lineup. In one scenario, Curry takes the 8 p.m. time slot currently occupied by Anderson Cooper, while Cooper moves to a global correspondent role.

Lacking confirmation beyond Page Six-level sourcing -- which POLITICO does not have, as of yet -- its impossible to know what will actually come to pass.
